Creating an integrated periodicals listing using Microsoft Access and ASP scripts

In response to the addition of several new aggregators to our database collection, it became necessary to find and implement an efficient way to direct our users to the journals they sought. The Dowling College Library Journal Locator (http://library. dowling.edu/) was created in response to that need. It is a Web‐accessible database that includes the holdings from all of our full‐text aggregators as well as our physical serials collection. This article presents the steps taken to create the database and make it accessible from our homepage or through our OPAC.
